+.. attribute:: HttpRequest.path_info
+
+ Under some web server configurations,
+ the portion of the URL after the host name is split up
+ into a script prefix portion and a path info portion
+ (this happens, for example, when using the ``django.root`` option
+ with the
+ :ref:`modpython handler from Apache `).
+ The ``path_info`` attribute always contains the
+ path info portion of the path,
+ no matter what web server is being used.
+ Using this instead of ``path`` can make your code
+ much easier to move between test and deployment servers.
+
+ Example: If the ``django.root`` for your application is set to
+ ``"/minfo"``, then ``path`` might be
